Okoronkwo finds a landing spot in San Francisco

Being between teams as a veteran edge rusher is its own kind of waiting. You've earned your place in this league, and then you're watching the calendar, hoping a phone rings.

Okoronkwo has been around long enough to know how this works. The job isn't guaranteed until you're in the building, but the San Francisco 49ers are expected to sign him, and that matters.

For a team that leans hard on its defensive line, adding a veteran who knows the position is a real addition. Okoronkwo brings experience to a room that already demands a lot from the people in it.

The next chapter starts in San Francisco. What he does with the opportunity is the story still being written.
